A Paragraph to Ponder

From New Mideast Pipeline Deal Shows Why Water Doesn't Start Wars:

"Ten million people now live between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea. If they were to be self-sufficient in food, they would need ten billion cu. meters of water per year. As it is, they have only about one-third of that: enough to grow 15-20% of their food. They import the rest in the form of food."
